Work and runnin’ I took a cue from the fabulous Danielle at Fell4Fashion and decided to go for LBD Monday! She does such a great job incorporating a black dress into her wardrobe each Monday and stylin’ it up!
Dress, Blouse and Necklace – F21
Tights – Target
Shoes – Nine West
MAC Studio Moisture Tint – $29.50
Has anyone tried what I ‘think’ is a new tinted MAC moisturizer? I have been looking for something lighter to wear to work and I think this might be just the thing. Perhaps I will make a run to the MAC counter tomorrow for a sample. I need to stock up on my Mineralize Skinfinish anyways and I think I may even have enough empties for a free product!
Yes, I know you guys were expecting the blog to take a turn towards home decor after we moved in August, but alas we still own a home in Charleston, SC that we are trying to rent (know anyone that needs a rental?!?) so money has been anything but available. It’s so hard to move into a house and not be able to make it into your home by putting all your own touches. I am itching to paint the bland white walls, replace our countertops that are almost as old as me, drape the windows in beautiful fabrics and of course spice up the beige carpet with beautiful rugs to tie it all together! Here are some rugs I am loving right now:
This rug pulls in all of the colors I am loving right now, wheat-y golds, burgundies and blues. This would look great in our den or foyer!
I love Damask Prints and this brown style would look great in our living room with our green sofa.
This similar rug in an orange tone would also be a nice addition to the living room.
I love the subtle pattern in these monotone rugs. They look so soft and supple too!
This orange and white style would be perfect to spice up our dark office, and better yet the orange screams CLEMSON TIGERS!
There is nothing better than stepping out of bed and sinking your feet into soft, fluffy wool. The bright white really pulls together all the blue and white already in our bedroom.
I would have to see this golden two-tone rug in person, but it looks very similar to the color I would like to paint my kitchen.
Another plush, shaggy white rug for sinking our toes into.
Another beautiful golden style in a great graphic pattern perfect for the kitchen or dining room.
These are just a few of my favorites right now. While I may not have the funds to rush out and purchase all of these beautiful styles to make my house into a home, I can always be my own virtual decorator until that time comes!
